"As a private economic university, there are great hidden dangers, and it is urgent to plan for it as soon as possible.

This is the title of Master Zhou's draft recital. In today's words, it is that Jingshi University is too harmful and must be eradicated as soon as possible, and I hope that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will approve it.

Pu Lun continued to read, but the draft read:

Since the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao in the Qing Dynasty, there have been more than 200 years of the country, and the pilgrims have all had a lot of time to promote culture and education. Therefore, the subjects of the world are eager to learn, everyone knows loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, every household abides by the three outlines and five constants, the family collects poems and books, there are string songs in it, and there is an unprecedented scene below the three generations.

Jingyun: "Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new." "Although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed." On the occasion of the great changes that have not been seen in thousands of years, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are far-sighted, the first to judge the situation, and change with the times, in order to live the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years, and there is no ultimate in heaven and earth. This good is also a good one.

On the second day of the eighth month of the 27th year of the 27th year of the slave study, there were words such as "talent is the foundation of the government, educating talents, and the end is in cultivating and learning academics", and the provinces have opened primary and secondary schools. The purpose of the edict is to promote education and cultivate talents, and the subjects should abide by the discipline, strive for self-improvement, and serve the country. Therefore, since the edict was issued, the primary and secondary schools in various provinces have been lined up, and the sound of lectures has spread all over the sea. However, if there are thousands of good fields, there will be snakes and rats; The nine trees of the orchid are born of thorns. The most especially, it is a private university in the suburbs of Beijing, which harbors evil intentions, does not destroy the holy way, violates morals and customs, and sins are common to the sky, and there are even those who make their subordinates unbearable. The slave privately thinks that he has ten crimes that cannot be punished, and now I would like to present it for my queen mother and the emperor:

Disobedience. The textbooks of the school, the servants read carefully, and there is no word "loyalty" throughout the text. Although there is no other obstruction, the meaning of such a dangerous implication is even greater than that of the violator. The punishment of the heart is heavier than the punishment. This is a punishable crime.

Disrespectful to the Ancestors. The school is often clichéd in its famous syllabus, and it teaches students that they do not use the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". On the day of obscurity, there will be no worship of the Holy Prophet. I have been studying for many years, but I don't know who Confucius is. This is not punishable for two crimes.

Harboring bandits. The teachers of the school include Cui Shu and Liao Ping, who confuse the world and slander the people, and Pi Xirui, who shakes people's hearts and advocates changing the law; The school worker is the widow of the Gengzi Shandong boxing bandits; The students are either disciples of the church school, or the sons of the contemptible people in the mountains and wilderness, or the best people in Shanghai. The top and bottom are mutually beneficial. Not only can it not cultivate talents, but it is precisely because of this that it is also engaged in raising a chaotic party. This is not punishable for three crimes.

Hidden conspiracy. The school is located in close proximity to the Summer Palace, only more than ten miles away from the Xiangshan Palace, and there are no soldiers and horses in the middle. Recently, I heard that the students of the school practiced military training every day, and the slaves speculated on themselves, fearing that their drunkards did not mean to drink. Once it is conjured, its calamity is beyond words! This is not punishable for four crimes.

Correctional official positions. The name of the school is to attack our Jingshi University Hall. And when students graduate, or they are awarded bachelor's degrees, or doctorates, these are all official positions in our country's dynasty, and they actually give and receive them privately, what is the difference between them and rebellion? That's it! This is not punishable for five crimes.

False heresy. The textbooks of this school are extremely absurd, such as saying that people are incarnated from apes, that the body is composed of small cells, and that the light is ripples and particles, all of which are nonsense, even if the crazy and stupid people do not say this, but teach the students. This is not punishable for six crimes.

Troubles people's hearts. The school uses heresies and atrocities to change my ancestral law and disrupt my holy way, and it can deceive people's hearts, so that students are immersed in Western studies and willing to obey the rebellion. Today, the capital only knows the Jingshi University, and I don't know that there is a Beijing Normal University. This is not punishable for seven crimes.

Offend public decency. The school has an attached primary and secondary school, young men and women, mixed in a room, laughing every day, almost the same as the Qinglou Hook Column. The school should always take the famous syllabus as its own responsibility and the people's hearts and academics as its guide, while they are shameless, prostitute and steal. This is not a punishable crime.

Collusion with Westerners. The principal of the school, Mr. Sun, went abroad when he was a child and grew up in the United States. It has been several years since I returned to China, and I still miss it, and I go there every year, which shows that I have returned to my heart. and the woman to whom she was married was an American woman; The friends are Ding Yunliang, the American minister and others. Although his body is of Chinese descent, the center is actually Westerner, and he has forgotten his ancestors. This is not a punishable crime.

Self-respect. The school takes the appearance of education and ornamentation, covering people's ears and eyes, and concentrates only on spreading the study of Buxi, with foreigners as the suzerain, relying on foreigners as talismans, relying on foreigners to respect themselves, and the officials and people are close to the left, and dare not speak out. This is not a punishable crime.

There is one sin, that is, to be revealed, and there are ten? The mud and sand are all down, the good and the bad are uneven, and it is just necessary to clarify and remove the mowing. In order to put an end to the chaos and sprout, and to uphold the hearts of the people, the slaves should be punished with three things: killing the culprit, dismantling the school, and dispersing the students, and severely punish them to set an example. The ancestral law will not change again, the holy path will not be chaotic again, and the great trouble can be eliminated.

As a descendant of Emperor Xuanzongcheng, the slave is a descendant of Emperor Xuanzong, and the country is gracious, and he does not dare to echo the trend of the times, and he is afraid of the trouble. Sincerely.

Pu Lun's hands trembled a little, these ten major crimes include heinous felonies such as great disrespect and rebellion, such as "hidden conspiracy" and "official position", which are to punish the nine clans. If you really want to hand it over, you will have an undying blood feud with others. The one named Sun Yuanqi is dead when he dies, and the key is that he has an uncle and grandfather who is a scholar, which is troublesome.

It is enough to deal with ordinary petty officials, but if you want to shake a scholar, it is far from qualified. Moreover, Sun Jianai is still the emperor's teacher today, and when another teacher of the emperor, Weng Tongyi, was "dismissed, never used, and handed over to the magistrate for strict control", Cixi will never dismiss him again because of this trivial matter for the sake of the court's dignity. Maybe Lafayette also banned himself in order to appease Sun Jianai.

Since he can't kill Sun Jianai, when he recovers, it should be his end. This champion prime minister, I don't know how many protégés and former officials in the court, as long as he hooks his fingers, it is estimated that a large number of people will write a book to participate in himself. Even if he is a shell, he can't withstand the attacks and bites of a group of sour literati day and night!

Pu Lun dealt with Sun Yuanqi, but he was just coaxing Zaizhen to be happy, and by the way, he patted the ass of his father Qingjun Wang Yixuan. However, it is undoubtedly extremely unwise to offend another minister of military aircraft in order to curry favor with another minister of military aircraft.

Pu Lun still has this brain. At the moment, I gave up the draft, and only excerpted some words that were not light or heavy, and perfunctory it into an excerpt. The last request was just to admonish Sun Yuanqi and bring the Jingshi University Hall under the official office.

Since the content of the excerpt is not important, there is no need for secret playing. According to the normal procedure, it was handed over to the military aircraft department on the same day.

When the excerpt arrived at the military aircraft department, it was not immediately handled by the Minister of Military Aircraft and the military aircraft Zhang Jing, but was handed over to the pen post first. If it is a confidential document or an important military situation, it naturally has no right to deal with it in the form of a written post, so it will be directly transferred to the desk of the military aircraft; If it is a general recital, the pen post should be opened and checked to see if there are any prohibited words in it, and then according to the priority of the content, it will be classified and handed to different people to deal with.

At 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, the two penmen of the Military Aircraft Department put aside the excerpts of the invitation and classified them according to the order of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. One of them picked up Pu Lun's "There are many hidden dangers in the private Jingshi University, please add a rectification fold", as soon as he saw the title, his pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly read the fold at a glance and ten lines, and then closed it and gently placed it on the stack of the Ministry of Rites. After flipping through a few more copies, he raised his head and said, "Brother Xian, you are tired!" Brother, I ate too much tea just now, and I was in a panic, so I had to go out and go back. ”

"You're welcome, please take care of yourself." The pen post next to him did not raise his head, and continued to check the folds.

He skirted the bookcase and trotted all the way to the hut. Entered the thatched house, looked left and right, saw that there was no one else, then closed the door, took off the warm hat, pulled out the pipe, but there was a small brush hidden inside, took out the pen, licked it with his tongue, tore off the small note on the toilet paper, quickly wrote down a line of words, and then threw it in a dim corner, which was a long sigh of relief. Put your hat back in shape, open the door and walk back to your room.

As soon as he entered the house, a man walked up to the hut and found a note in the corner, pinned in the brim of his hat. After a while, he walked towards the outside of the palace.

Half an hour later, before Pu Lun's recital had been reviewed by the military machine Zhang Jing, a summary of his content had already arrived on the desk of the Lord Zhongtang in Lianzi Hutong. After reading the note, the old man took off his tortoiseshell-framed reading glasses, and hurriedly called his family: "Ride a fast horse and go outside the city to find Baixi, just say that the old man is looking for him, 100,000 is urgent!" ”

In the afternoon, Sun Yuanqi was writing a paper on particle accelerators in the principal's office, and Lao Zhao led people into the house in a hurry.

In Beijing's winter, it is dry and cold, and it is really hard to ride a horse: first, the bumps on the horse's back, the cold is biting, the official road is dusty, and the choking rustic air penetrates the mouth and nose when you breathe and breathe; After walking for a while, I was hot and sweaty, and the flying dust was absorbed by sweat, and my face was covered with mud. What Sun Yuanqi saw was such a clay figure.

When the man saw Sun Yuanqi, he hurriedly said: "Young master, our old lady has something important to discuss with you, and he is in a hurry!" ”

"Uncle and grandfather, his old man looking for me?" Sun Yuanqi didn't feel a mess in his heart: In the Qing Dynasty, there are not many important things that can make the boss "100,000 urgent"!

"Hmmm! Young master, hurry up and go into the city with the little one! It's dark early in winter, so don't wait until you can't get into the city! The man gasped and urged.

"Okay, okay, right away!" Sun Yuanqi knew that the boss was the master of playing the "Beacon Fire Opera Princes", and he said that if there was something, there must be something big. He calmed down a little, asked Lao Zhao to ask someone to set up the carriage, and hurriedly rushed to the city with the comers.

Because there is an emergency, I can't care about the bumps, and I am speeding all the way. Finally arrived at Desheng Gate before closing the city gate. This also set a new record for the shortest travel time between the two places.

After entering the Sun Mansion, the old man was waiting in the study. didn't bother to wipe his face with a towel, Sun Yuanqi came to the study. This time, the old man did not salute as usual, and when he saw Sun Yuanqi, he asked, "Do you recognize Pulun Pubeizi on the Yinjun Palace?" ”

Sun Yuanqi thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know." What's wrong? ”

"Don't know? Then what kind of crazy is this shellfish......" The old man stroked his beard and pondered, "So, have you encountered anything lately?" Especially if you have any dealings with the flag people? ”

"I want to think about it." After thinking about it for a while, Sun Yuanqi replied: "In this way, it seems that a few days ago, there was a beizi from the prince's mansion who invited me to dinner, and I didn't go, but that person seems to be called Zai Zhen or Zai or something, not surnamed Pu!" ”

"Zai Zhen Zai Beizi on the Qing Wangye's Mansion?" The old man nodded, "That's pretty much it." must have not gone to the banquet and offended Zai Beizi, so Pu Beizi helped him get ahead in order to please King Qing! ”

"What's the matter, Uncle Grandfather?" Until now, Sun Yuanqi didn't know what was going on.

The old man handed over a note: "Look at this. ”

Sun Yuanqi took it, and with this light, he barely recognized the cursive handwriting on it: Zai Zhenzhu Sun Yuanqi disrespected the teacher, harbored bandits, created heresies, and caused trouble to people's hearts, and wanted to accept the school officials.

"Ah——!h Sun Yuan started reading it, and he was surprised: Just because they didn't go to that meal, this group of noble children wants to nationalize Jingshi University?

Caring is chaotic, seeing that the school that he has put a lot of effort into is about to be snatched away by a group of second ancestors, Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but panic, and asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle, how is this good!" ”

"Baixi, don't panic! Having calm in every major event is the key to cultivating a changing temperament. I don't know how many winds and waves the old man has gone through in his life, and he has already cultivated the ability to pamper and not be shocked, and his voice is not moving, so his face has been as calm as water: "Since you know the joint between you and Pu Beizi, things will be easier." ”

Sun Yuanqi hesitated for a long time and asked tentatively: "Should I write a self-defense and defend myself?" ”

"Confused!" The old man reprimanded, "What, are you the same as Selen? ”

In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, Empress Xiaoxian Fucha suddenly fell ill and died. It is customary for the subjects of the world not to shave their hair for 100 days as a sign of mourning. However, the matter of the dead queen, after all, is not often encountered, and this practice is gradually forgotten. Who knew that at this time, someone reported that all the civil and military officials below the governor of Jiangnan River, except for one Huaixu Dao Ding, all had shaved their heads in violation of the law. Emperor Qianlong was furious and escorted Zhou Xuejian, the governor of the Jiangnan River, to Beijing, and waited for investigation by the Criminal Department.

In fact, these people are not the only ones who have shaved their heads in violation of the law: from the governor of Huguang and Guangzhou, Yang Xifu, the governor of Hunan, and Peng Shukui, the governor of Hubei, officials in Hunan and Hubei provinces have all shaved their heads in violation of the law.

Selen has a good friend, who is Actun, a full member of the Criminal Department. When Acton was working on the case, he knew that his head had been shaved within 27 days, so he wrote a letter to his friend to take the initiative to confess his guilt and ask for forgiveness.

So the plugged forehead took the initiative to fold and asked for punishment. After Emperor Qianlong read it, he thought that he could change and be good; Especially self-reporting, asking for punishment is even more rare. As a result, Zhou Xuejian was deprived of his job and his home was raided, and the amount of the plug was only recorded once.

It wasn't until later that Emperor Qianlong knew that Seleng's move was at the behest of Actun, the minister handling the case, and he was furious: This is completely a party and a personal interest in his subordinates, playing with the Son of Heaven in the palm of his hand. An edict was immediately issued, and Acton was confiscated on charges of great disrespect, and Soleng was immediately dismissed, and he was locked in Beijing for interrogation with Acton's case.

Sun Jianai's source of information naturally cannot be made public. If Cixi just saw the twists and turns, Sun Yuanqi's self-defense would arrive, and as a superior person, he would inevitably feel watched, and it would inevitably be another big turmoil.

Sun Yuanqi naturally didn't know who the plug was against, and when he saw that the boss was displeased, he knew that his move was inappropriate, so he had to wait for the boss to make a suggestion.

"The point is not here! If it is just this excerpt on Pu Lun, the Military Aircraft Department will give you a punishment at most if it looks at the thin face of the old man. When the Queen Mother saw it, she wouldn't say much. The old man's face became more and more calm, "The key is that there are still people who are fueling the trouble, and this matter will definitely not be settled!" ”

"Who else?" Sun Yuanqi immediately asked.

"Who else? This is a lot, the clear stream in the officialdom, the editing of Chinese books, and most of the people in the world who read. How much do you say? The old man said leisurely, "Most of the scholars in this world have read the Four Books and Five Classics and written eight articles since they were young, hoping to gain fame and glory to their ancestors." Who would have thought, the situation in the world suddenly changed greatly. First of all, in July last year, he promulgated the "Decree on the Abolition of the Eight Shares of Procedures for the First Imperial Examination Next Year", and began to abolish the Eight Shares, and the world has become turbulent. In August and November 2 of this year, he successively promulgated the "Decree on the Establishment of Universities, Primary and Secondary Schools in All Provinces and the Proper Discussion of the Statutes" and the "Decree on the Compilation and Revision of Chinese Books and Other Texts in the Separate Sects of the Beijing Normal University", ordering those officials who read the sage's classics to study Western studies instead.

"Recently, I heard that Yuan Xiangcheng, the governor of Zhili, and Zhang Nanpi, the acting governor of Liangjiang, exchanged voices, and planned to reduce the imperial examination. Those children, talents, and people who grew up reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, can they not be filled with righteous indignation? Although this is just a rumor, they can't hold it anymore for a long time, and they only owe a reason. And Pu Lun's letter is the beginning. ”

"Hehe, as soon as they see this excerpt, they will inevitably go to the book and attack all kinds of shortcomings of the school, so that the palace feels that the school is useless and must be abolished. Since the school has been suspended, isn't it back to the old road of taking the imperial examination? Therefore, Qingliu, officials and scholars will inevitably add fuel to the fire and flock to the book to talk about things. ”

In the end, Sun Jianai stroked his beard with a heavy face: "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy!" “
